Burton, M. Farrell, F. Lord, and R. Lord MENU Abstract Abstract Acknowledgments This report provides an overview of the tangible remains currently left at the sites of the Japanese American internment during World War II. The main focus is on the War Project Summary Relocation Authority's relocation centers, but Department of Justice and U.S. Army facilities where Japanese Americans were interned are also considered. The goal of the study has been to provide information for the National Landmark Theme Study called for in the Manzanar National Historic Site enabling legislation. Archival research, field visits, and interviews with former internees provide preliminary documentation about the architectural remnants, the archeological features, and the artifacts remaining at the sites. The degree of preservation varies tremendously. At some locations, modern development has obscured many traces of the World War II-era buildings and features. At a few sites, relocation center buildings still stand, and some are still in use. Overall the physical remains at all the sites are evocative of this very significant, if shameful, episode in U.S. history, and all appear to merit National Register of Historic Places or National Historic Landmark status. Acknowledgments As would be expected with a project taking nearly six years to complete, the authors are indebted to many. Three of the authors (Mary, Dick, and Flo) volunteered hundreds of hours of their time. Funding for the senior author was provided by Manzanar National Historic Site. The support, encouragement, and patience of park superintendent Ross Hopkins is gratefully acknowledged. George Teague supervised the project. AutoCAD maps were drafted by Ron Beckwith. Uncredited photographs in the report were taken by the authors. http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/anthropology74/ce0.htm (1 of 3)5/3/2005 1:36:20 PM National Park Service: Confinement and Ethnicity (Abstract and Acknowledgments) Translations were furnished by Shoko Fujita-Ehrlich and a volunteer.

    Significant Dates in Asian/Chinese American History - 4 by Chinese American Heroes

    Significant Dates in Asian/Chinese American History - 4 By Chinese American Heroes Chinese American Heroes presents this series of significant dates in Asian American and Chinese American history. This is by no means a comprehensive list of events due to our limited time and resources for research. For the same reasons we concentrated on the major Asian American population groups in this country in numbers, the Chinese, Japanese, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Filipino Americans. In Installment 4 we go from 1941 to 1945. World War II marks a major turning point as it sees Asian Americans serving in the US military and in war industries in unprecedented numbers. Job opportunities suddenly open up in many areas where Asian Americans had been blocked because of racism. The American alliance with China and the need to keep China in the war also leads to the formal end of the Chinese Exclusion Act, although immigration remains extremely limited. After the war, the GI Bill pays for the college education of Asian American veterans. These men and women then begin the climb up the ladder of American society towards the middle class and start leaving ethnic enclaves like Chinatown to move into formerly whites only suburbs. DATE EVENT 1941 Formation of the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) in November 1941. Language specialists are recruited to be attached to military units to provide translation and interrogation services. Many Japanese Americans are recruited or drafted directly from internment camps (see Executive Order 9066.) They are credited with shortening the war in the Pacific by at least a year with their services.

JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNMENT: A TRAGEDY OF WAR A Reflexive Essay Presented To The Academic Faculty Amber Martinez In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in American Studies Kennesaw State University (May, 2014) 1 Japanese American internment in the United States during World War II affected thousands of lives for generations yet it remains hidden in historical memory. There have been surges of public interest since the release of the internees, such as during the Civil Rights movement and the campaign for redress, which led to renewed interest in scholarship investigating the internment. Once redress was achieved in 1988, public interest waned again as did published analysis of the internment. After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began, American pride and displays of homeland loyalty created a unique event in American history.

    Tabors: A Voice for the "Least of These:" Eleanor Roosevelt's Servant Le Servant Leadership: Theory & Practice Volume 5, Issue 1, 13-24 Spring 2018 A Voice for the “Least of These:” Eleanor Roosevelt’s Servant Leadership Christy Tabors, Hardin-Simmons University Abstract Greenleaf (2002/1977), the source of the term “servant leadership,” acknowledges a lack of nurturing or caring leaders in all types of modern organizations. Leaders and potential future leaders in today’s society need servant leader role-models they can study in order to develop their own servant leadership. In this paper, the author explores Eleanor Roosevelt’s life using Spears’ (2010) ten characteristics of servant leadership as an analytical lens and determines that Roosevelt functioned as a servant leader throughout her lifetime. The author argues that Eleanor Roosevelt’s servant leadership functions as a timeless model for leaders in modern society. Currently, a lack of literature exploring the direct link between Eleanor Roosevelt and servant leadership exists. The author hopes to fill in this gap and encourage others to contribute to this area of study further. Overall, this paper aims at providing practical information for leaders, particularly educational leaders, to utilize in their development of servant leadership, in addition to arguing why Eleanor Roosevelt serves as a model to study further in the field of servant leadership.

Description of services provided: Grants were provided to the following individuals and organizations: Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community (BIJAC): BIJAC offered workshops featuring four oral history documentary films of the Japanese American WWII experience and accompanying curricula aligning with OSPI-developed Assessments for use in distance-learning lessons during the COVID- 19 pandemic, and developed online interactive activities to use with the oral history films in online workshops. Erin Shigaki: In the first phase of the grant Erin used the funds to revise the design of three wall murals about the Japanese American exclusion and detention located in what was the historic Japantown or Nihonmachi in Seattle, WA. The first and second locations are in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District in “Nihonmachi Alley” and the third location is the side of the Densho building located on Jackson Street. Erin spent time working with a fabricator regarding material options and installation.

  • An Organized Inequity

    An Organized Inequity

    The AlexAndriAn VII, no. 1 (2018) An Organized Inequity Lauren Post “An Organized Inequity” counters the accepted narrative of Japanese-Americans assimilating back into American society with ease. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s signing of Executive Order 9066 allowed for Japanese Relocation, as well as the hardships yet to come for those of Japanese heritage in America. It takes into account personal testimonies from camp inmates, examines education repertoire for children within the camps, as well as graduation statistics from Japanese-American students within the camps in comparison to white students, and other minorities within the States. The essay endeavors to explicate the effect that poor living conditions and ineffective education within the camps, as well as discrimination faced after the war, had on the strive and success rate of Japanese-American children after World War II. At first, they were gathered quietly, slowly, and then, all at once—a mass incarceration orchestrated within forty-eight hours after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Paranoia trailed closely behind the hysteria of war, turning rational thought into anxiety riddled with hatred. Those of Japanese heritage living within the United States at the time, found themselves ill-suited to face the hostilities that would soon engulf their world. By the end of 1942, two congressional committees began investigating means of evacuating the Japanese, including Americans of Japanese ancestry. On February 13, a meeting of the Congressional Committees on Defense and on Alien Nationality and Sabotage, passed a resolution, recommending that there be an immediate evacuation of absolutely all people of Japanese lineage, as well as any others whose presence was deemed by the U.S.
